If you have the time....

If you have the time, just go ahead and keep the game. GameFly lets you keep it for $49.99 which is amazingly cheaper than most places.

Game length for main quest is 30 hours and an additional 200-300 hours for everything else (additional quest, hunts, exploring etc), according to Lead Producer on Skyrim, Craig Lafferty.

I rented the game form GameFly only to learn that a couple of hours into the game I was still on Level 1 with literally NOTHING completed. There is a ton of exploring and things to do.

I unfortunately don't have the time to properly get into this game. As an example, I went over to a town/village to go to the blacksmith and make some weapons. I later found out that I needed to collect the materials to make the items. This is an example of needing to take the time do something as simple as make a weapon. Not complaining, I actually think thats kind of cool and very realistic however I dont have the time.

Graphics are amazing, game play is smooth, controllers are easy. Keep the game.

The game is a memory hog on your PlayStation hardrive so you may need to make room for it or make sure you have a big drive to begin with. Check system requirements on the game and compare them to your system.

As far as system goes: PS3 seemed to have the best graphics however xbox game play was much smoother. With PS3 at times it felt choppy when moving the character.

Awesome game, but worth buying/keeping it.

This is one of the First Elderscroll games that i played and actually enjoyed, maybe in the past my attentions just weren't there...

The only thing for me is that the main quest line was to short... I wish it would have been longer, i understand that the elder scrolls games are all about the open world feeling, but i still enjoyed the main quest line...

I actually loved this game, but after i was completed with the main quest line, i felt like continuing on was a waste of my time...

A breath of fresh air

Unlike many let downs that were released in 2011 Skyrim is one of those that stands out. I was a bit skeptical at first as a fan of the non turn-based RPG titles I still found the last two elder scrolls to be okay, no up there but decent. This game stunned me, it took a little getting used to the whole enchantmentnsystem, creating potions and making decent weapons and armor but once you pick up on the mechanics of the game in general you will literally fall into the world of skyrim and fall in love with it.
The game is deep, the world is huge, plenty of side-quests and the random dragon battles are fun as well as intense.

With games like Dragon Age II being somewhat of a disappointment this title brings a whole lot of new to the table as well as in depth, the game feels well put together. I give it a 10 cause I have nothing bad to say about it.

One Word: AMAZING

Let me start off my saying, I just couldn't get into Oblivion. I thought the gameplay was clunky and the characters were very dull. But with Skyrim, it hooked me from the very get go. This game is leaps and bounds beyond what oblivion did and a must buy for any RPG fan or any gamer in general.
Elder Scrolls 5 starts out with you in custody about to be slaughtered. Then you're saved by a dragon. Then that same dragon almost kills you. THen you discover that you are a dragon born, so you get all of these insane powers and abilities.
Skyrim is one massive game. The world that Bethesda created is so massive that even after over 150 hours of gameplay you'll still be getting quests that lead to undiscovered territory. Skyrim isn't jst a huge beautiful world, this game has so much content it will blow your mind. You can expect to spend over 300 hours on one playthrough. Skyrim is one of those games that no matter how many hours you put into it, you want to keep playing to see what you might uncover next.
You can do anything you want in skyrim. If you want to be a master at cooking you can do that or if you want to boost your alchemy, potion, smithing, tanning, lockpicking, smelting or any other skills you can do that. Upgrading your character goes even further by the use of doesen's of perks and each perk that you want to level has a constellation that you navigate to choose what skills you want. You also have shouts which are special power that give you the ability to slow time, shoot fire ect. It's insane the amount of things you can do in this game.
This game does have bugs but they're not major. The game did crash on me once. But I'd been playing for about 80 hours before I experienced this. There are bugs like teleporting mammoths or when you die sometimes you fly up in the air, but not a big deal considering how massive and rich this game. is
All I'm trying to say is go buy this game.

all I have to say is this game does mostly everything right, it has some mess ups like frame-rate, or some glitches, but come on it is a bethesda game it is going to have problems, but if you look past the problems you have a fun game with rich amazing world, if you like fallout, mass effect, or just RPG'S you will enjoy this game

Holy big ol' game with lots to do in it Batman! I have just barely started, splitting 10hrs between 2 saves. There is so much depth in this world that after that amount of time, I realized I had put but a microscopic dent in a macroscopic world. As I prefer to build class specific characters, I will end up having multiple saves and multiple playthroughs. Though the game is buggy at times, delivers on practically every note. I have nothing bad to say about it as of yet. Combat is solid and being able to switch from first to third person views is extremely helpful in many situations. The storyline is awesome even though sometimes character animations make things feel a little unrealistic. I am simply overwhelmed by everything Skyrim has to offer and I will surely be playing this for months to come.

I have played little of morrowind and played tons of oblivion. I feel skyrim has raised the limits when it comes to superb graphics, unexpecting action, and very detailed in the littliest thing. I love being able to continue doing quests for a certain guild or faction even after the main faction story line is done. Great Game, interested in what the dlc will be like.

Another great Elder Scrolls

posted by megadeath (CLEARFIELD, UT) Dec 27, 2011

To start off this game is great, it brings everything you loved from the last games in this series and makes them even better.
First off, this game has some of the best graphics that I've ever seen, not only enviromental but also the characters look very good too, much better than in Oblivion. When it comes to gameplay this game also is much better than the previous games in the elder scrolls series, at first the fighting will seem a bit slow but as you play it more it doesn't seem as slow. Skyrim has a huge amount of gametime you'll never run out of things to do, and the map as you might have guessed is also massive, leaving you with many places to explore as usual. The main storyline is great, and the side quests are just as good.
I give this game a 10 because it is all around just a great game, this game is a definate Buy for fans of RPG's and the Elder Scrolls series.

I got it for Christmas, and I reccomend this game to basicly anybody. The beginning might be slow, but the rest of the game is great. I also reccomend you get this for a console, and not a computer, my friend got it for his computer and he said it wasn't that great, while I own it for PS3. I give this 10/10 for excellent gameplay and intriguing lore.
